Leftfield I Know: Sock Dilemma?
Crazy bunch of thoughts running around my head this morning. Men, generally, have that problem, if they wear grown-up clothes, of having pairs of socks and getting them all to match when they are only ever-so-slightly different in the first place. I don't have enough socks of the same colour to have that worry, but I do notice that whenever I do washing there is just one lone sock left over.

Here's the solution: go to Marks & Spencers (while they are still in business) - or the sock retailer of your choice - and buy six pairs of identical socks. Never pair them. They all match. Brilliant, innit? The lifetime value of time saved is surely enough to read War and Peace? At the very least.
